shape


Description:


public void shape (string text, int length, Analysis analysis, GlyphString glyphs)

Convert the characters in text into glyphs.

Given a segment of text and the corresponding `PangoAnalysis` structure returned from [func@Pango.itemize], convert the characters into glyphs. You may also pass in only a substring of the item from [func@Pango.itemize].

It is recommended that you use [func@Pango.shape_full] instead, since that API allows for shaping interaction happening across text item boundaries.

Some aspects of hyphen insertion and text transformation (in particular, capitalization) require log attrs, and thus can only be handled by [ func@Pango.shape_item].

Note that the extra attributes in the analyis that is returned from [func@Pango.itemize] have indices that are relative to the entire paragraph, so you need to subtract the item offset from their indices before calling [func@Pango.shape].

Parameters:

text

the text to process

length

the length (in bytes) of text

analysis

`PangoAnalysis` structure from [func@Pango.itemize]

glyphs

glyph string in which to store results
